ESSIC/CISESS scientists Sinéad Farrell and Kyle Duncan have a new paper out in Geophysical Research Letters titled, “Mapping Sea Ice Surface Topography in High Fidelity With ICESat‐2”.
ESSIC Research Scientists Dorothy K. Hall and Do Hyuk “DK” Kang have a new paper out in Remote Sensing of Environment about the relationship between changing snow-cover conditions and the decline of Utah’s shrinking Great Salt Lake (GSL).
As part of the support to the NOAA/NASA Ocean Surface Topography Science Team (OSTST), ESSIC/CISESS scientists Sinéad Farrell and Kyle Duncan have been developing datasets
Last June, NASA’s Operation IceBridge mission, an ongoing effort to monitor changes in polar ice, was awarded a Robert H. Goddard award for Science Teams. On this team is Alek Petty, ESSIC Associate Research Scientist, who has made substantial contributions as a member of the missision’s Project Science Office.
ESSIC Associate Research Scientist Kelly Brunt was recently featured in a NOVA Virtual Field Trip, where she spoke on her own field work as well as ICESat-2, the satellite laser altimeter working to accurately and precisely measure changes in our polar regions.
Several ESSIC/CISESS scientists have contributed to a new e-book published by Springer titled “Satellite Precipitation Measurement”.
Using the most advanced Earth-observing laser instrument NASA has ever flown in space, scientists have made precise, detailed measurements of how the elevation of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have changed over 16 years.
The American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting was held last week, January 12 to 16, in Boston. There were significant contributions by ESSIC/CISESS scientists, documented here.
Last month, an article titled “Mapping of Snow Depth by Blending Satellite and In-Situ Data Using Two-Dimensional Optimal Interpolation—Application to AMSR2” was published in the journal Remote Sensing by co-authors Cezar Kongoli, ESSIC/CISESS associate research scientist, Tom Smith, ESSIC/CISESS visiting research scientist, and Jeff Key, chief of NOAA’s Advanced Satellite Products Branch.
Over 20 ESSIC/CISESS scientists and students attended this year’s AGU conference and many more contributed to talks and poster presentations. The talks included:
